Amy Jackson is beating the summer heat the right way, by taking a trip to Sicily with her fiance Ed Westwick and son Andreas. In a carousel of pictures dropped on Instagram, the actress documented her time spent in the “Sicilian Heaven”. The first snap featured the mother of one soaking some Vitamin D at a beach. She planted a kiss on Andreas' cheek. An artistic glimpse of what appears to be an antique store also made it to the album. Amy and Ed enjoyed a lovey-dovey moment, followed by a cruise ride in the glistening waters with their munchkin. Clear skies, lush greenery, and gushing rivers dominated the picturesque destination. The family also hopped onto a fun helicopter ride.
Has your wanderlust been triggered? If so, here are five amazing places to visit in Sicily if you plan a trip to the Mediterranean island.
1. Palermo
Sicily's capital city is home to several architectural marvels. Witness the awe-inspiring street art and click as many pictures as you want. Wish to indulge in some street food and local cuisines? Drop in at the Ballaro and Vucciria markets for lip-smacking cannoli, gelato, and arancini.
2. Agrigento
A history-lover would simply adore this archaeological wonder. The Valley of the Temples is a popular ruin, housing many excavated regions. A visit to the Petro Griffo Archaeological Museum will offer glimpses of Roman artefacts, age-old pottery, and ancient coins.
3. Taormina
The coastal hilltop is bestowed with pristine scenery. Admire the breathtaking Greek and Roman theatre — Teatro Antico di Taormina, carved like a rock where many concerts and festivals are hosted. An unobstructed view of Mount Etna is also on the cards.
4. Aeolian Islands
A seven-clustered island forms the Aeolian Islands. Hop onto quaint boat rides, take a hike to the Alicudi islet, walk on black beaches, and tantalise your tastebuds with lip-smacking delicacies when visiting these beaches.
5. Favignana
The Favignana island lures thrill-seekers. From scootering around the destination on dusty roads to diving into a snorkelling adventure under the waters and enjoying tuna fishing, this place has several outdoor activities.
